Ilono, music by Catherine Braslavksy
First century Aramaic text

O Beautiful tree of our desire ,
The Lord has planted you in his church
 You have grown by the blessed waters of the prophets
 Your leaves heal and your fruit gives life 
 We take shelter in your shade
And the Holy Spirit rests in your branches,
like the dove in ancient olive trees.


La Sainte Baume, the mountain region in Provence where Mary Magdalene spent the last 30 years of her life according  to French history and legend.

Attachment to matter
Gives rise to passion against nature
This is why I tell you:
“Be in harmony”
If you are out of balance,
 take inspiration form manifestations of your true nature.
Those who have ears, let them hear.

After saying this, the Blessed One greeted them all saying,
Peace be with you
May my Peace be fulfilled within you.
Be vigilant and
Allow no one to mislead you
By saying ‘Here it is’ or ‘There it is’
For it is within you that
The Son of Man  dwells

-The Gospel of Mary Magdalene (trans. Leloup/Rowe)


Lectio Divina Steps after each reading:

1)  Repeat one word or phrase  that echoes in your heart- write down

2) What is the sense impression you receive? Journal "  I feel… I see.." or draw the image you receive

3)  Listen for what the message is for you personally at this moment in time. Imagine it is a love letter to you from Jesus/Mary Magdalene and journal. You might find it helpful to being:
“I hear the call to…” or
“ The message for me is…”
​"Illuminate" your verbal response.
